This subject matter will be my subject research for my Research paper for Level 1 later. I will slowly collecting data and to understand this subject matter.
Mangrove forests in Muar is found mainly on the
sheltered coasts, estuaries, rivers along Straits Of Melacca.
Mangrove forests support a diverse range of animals and plants and are
important breeding ground for a vast array of organisms. The importance
of mangrove forests in providing invaluable goods and services both in
economics and environmental terms are well understood and documented.
Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia (FDPM) has been keeping abreast
with current issues at the national, regional and international levels
in managing the mangrove forests.
FDPM has always been fully committed
to the implementation of the sustainable forest management practices and
in line with current concerns such as climate change, conservation of
biological diversity and natural calamities including tsunami, have
brought about a heightened expectation to the forestry profession. The
policy and management of mangrove forests have great impacts on the
political, social, economic, ecological and environmental well- being of
the country, and thus managing mangrove forests is very challenging to
the department. Mangrove forests management system has undergone changes
from merely managing for its wood produce, to a management system that
incorporates multiple roles, protection and conservation.
Special emphasis to the protection of the
mangrove forests is enshrined in the National Forest Policy 1978
(revised1992) and duly recognized and given specific attention in the
National Forestry Act 1984 (revised 1993). Future management of mangrove
forests in Peninsular Malaysia will adopt an integrated approach by
further refining the current management approach and incorporating
latest findings and updated information through more vigorous R&D,
scientific expeditions and studies on mangrove forests. A paradigm shift
to conserve biodiversity even in the management of production mangrove
forests will be emphasized. The National Forestry Policy and other
policies related to mangrove forests need to be revised from time to
time to match prevailing conditions and requirements, to ensure the
realization of its multi-functions in perpetuity. The success in the
sustainable management of mangrove forests by FDPM has in fact
contributed to the sustainability of the Wetlands in Malaysia which is
crucial to the survival and future health of the earth too
